Cannot save Smart Hub 2 admin password in Firefox or Edge

[misar]

I have no problem accessing the hub manager and entering the admin password but I have to type it every time because neither browser offers to save it. Never had this problem with the old hub.

Any suggestions please?

Firefox saves it ok for me. It is a browser/device problem, not a BT problem.

You can save the password manually. Go to the Firefox settings by clicking on the 3 lines at the top right hand side and click on "passwords" and click on the + beside the search box. This will open a section where you can enter the relevant details then click "save".

It is the same in Edge.

Thanks but with both browsers the password is already saved.

My problem is that you don't need a password to open the Hub Manager only when you want admin permission (for Advanced settings etc). At that point you are asked to enter a password as usual but there is no password manager popup so I need to type it every time.

Could this be linked to the https issue below. The BT help seems to say just ignore it which I do. Obviously never happened with the old hubs.

Have you updated the saved password since the change to HTTPS? The site will have changed from  HTTP://192.168.1.254/  to HTTPS://192.168.1.254

Yes but Edge for example opens the Hub manager with this in the address bar:

I assume this is related to the certificate issue mentioned in the BT help page I linked. Manager still works normally except for not being able to automatically insert the admin password.
